With clock-like consistency, there are two times of the year that get me excessively agitated and stabby, and those times are the “Spring Forward” and “Fall Back” atrocities known as Daylight Saving-related time changes. I may have mentioned this before. I’m not going to bore you with the details, but I will say that, as I […]
Dental Scaling or Pelvic Exam? Survey says…
October 5, 2011 by
Last week I was at the dentist for a checkup and for scaling. The word “scaling” gives me the chills. I conducted a brief and informal survey among girlfriends, regarding which they would rather have: dental scaling or a pelvic exam. The results were approximately 75/25 in favour of pelvic exams. Of course, this isn’t a scientifically accurate […]

Friday night I had some girlfriends over to watch The Breakfast Club and eat that dinner beloved by women everywhere: the dinner made up of appetizers.

Few things, I find, are more offensive and soul-destroying than trying to find parking in the busy Costco lot and then finding some spots, only to discover at the last minute that there are several giant carts stranded in the vacant parking spots, the vacant parking spots that are mere steps from the parking lot cart […]
